Charlie Sheen announced earlier this fall that he wanted to return to his old series "Two and a Half Men" for the show's final season. The dream remains alive for Sheen, who has even conceived a possible scenario for the series finale.
"I have a brilliant idea, but don't want to give it away," the 49-year-old actor told Extra on Oct. 30. "It's the type of moment I think people would talk about for a long time and it wouldn't get in anybody's way. Think it would be a nice tip of the hat... they know I want to do it and I know they're open to it, so, guess we're just a meeting away from making it happen."
Sheen reached out to the CBS sitcom about his possible return despite the fact that the show killed off his character at the beginning of season nine. His demise came after Warner Bros. fired the actor for his bizzare attacks on the studio, CBS and the show's creator Chuck Lorre.
"I've reached out to them and they've reached back," Sheen told TV Guide Magazine in September. "We're trying to figure out what makes the most sense. If they figure it out like I've presented it to them and they want to include me in some final send-off, I'm available and I'm showing up early. If not, it's on them."
The actor sued both Warner Bros. and Lorre after his termination in March 2011. The three parties later settled their $100 million legal dispute for an undisclosed amount that September, according to a statement issued by the studio.
The self-described "Warlock" who coined the catchphrase "Winning" is ready to make his amends with Lorre.
"He was doing his job, I was doing mine. At the end of the day, the guy's a genius," Sheen told TV Guide Magazine. "Look at what he does. I don't have to spend time with him anymore for him to be brilliant. I wish him nothing but the best."
"Two and a Half Men" replaced Sheen with Ashton Kutcher in 2011. The new father told Conan O'Brien he has stopped listening to "things that Charlie Sheen says."
"Charlie Sheen has become like a parent on 'Charlie Brown' to me. It's more like, 'Wah wah wah,'" Kutcher told O'Brien on Oct. 28.
The 36-year-old actor does appreciate that Sheen's exit led to his "awesome job" where he co-stars with Jon Cryer. The show will wrap its 12th and final season next spring.
